Public Service Day Logo Competition

The UN General Assembly, in its resolution 57/277 of 2003, designated June 23rd as Public Service Day.

Many countries around the world observe this day in celebration of the value and virtue of public service to the community by highlighting the contribution of the public service in the development process and recognizing the work of public servants.
The Government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, every year joins with the rest of the international community in observing and commemorating the day with a week of activities. The activities to mark the day are facilitated and coordinated by the Public Sector Reform Unit in the Service Commissions Department.
In order to foster a spirit of deeper collaboration between all levels of the public service, public service day events are oriented to promote greater public awareness, knowledge sharing and experience exchange among members of the public service. To this extent a ‘logo’ is essential to enhance the event’s outreach, visibility and symbolization.
Objective
The main purpose of this competition is to develop a brand (meaning a logo) to be used by the Public Sector Reform Unit during the week of activities to mark Public Service Day in June each year.

  • Creating avenues for the exchange of experiences, innovations, ideas and good practices in the public service;
